How much do you weigh?

 

[Legend]

the protein should help, but if it's been that long you're body isn't used to it.

According to some, you should easily be able to benchpress 106% of your bodyweight.

I am not part of the 'some' with that idea. Good job and keep up the hard work. You will be hurting tomorrow.

You can't really compare it unless you factor in both weight and height.

Don't mind him, he really doesn't know what he's talking about.

You suck at weight lifting. Stop before you injure yourself.

Thursday was my 1st day back in the gym in 4 months... My shoulder has been all messed up. 225 for 10 reps 4 sets. Still a long way from my 405 1 rep max 1 year ago.

Not really, you should be able to, but you gotta start somwhere.

Go slow and keep it up :thumbsup:

And what is your reasoning behind that? If a person is in an environment where they never have to use their chest muscles for the majority of work, but do a lot of squatting, pulling, why should they be able to instantly benchpress 100%+ of their own weight if they have never lifted before? In this case, their back, shoulders, and legs will probably be stronger than the average person. That doesn't mean we should make what they can do the given rule for everyone else who has never lifted weights.

I'm with ^

Some people are just pulling their pants down showing their enormous e-penises.

I never said how much I weigh or how much I can do :roll:

I'm not saying you need to be able to benchpress a truck, but it's good to have a balanced body, and being able to bench 100% of your weight is (no pun) a good benchmark.


Kinda like how it's funny to see guys at the gym with an enormous chest and biceps, but scrawny legs.

Agree, on both counts. I don't know how much I can bench, but I'm almost damn sure I can't bench 160 (about how much I weigh), seeing as how I've done no weight training and do not have a physically strenuous job. The idea that you should just be able to vanilla bench your own body weight right off the bat is preposterous.

I was less interested in attacking you than I was in agreeing with the general points that BigJ and Koenigsegg were making. I copy/pasted the word "Koenigsegg". Who else would?
